Lundahl & Seitl are a remarkable company whose work explores the relationship between the physical world and our consciousness of it. Can an imagined space ever seem as real as something physical? It certainly did in their previous work, the extraordinary Symphony of a Missing Room, where audience members were blindfolded and guided through a Birmingham museum wearing headphones, being invited to "see" the space and works of art via their imaginations. And it does, too, in this small, unnerving but beautiful piece inspired by the music of Bach and Ligeti, and the writings of William Thomas Stead, the founding father of investigative journalism, who died on the Titanic.

Stead foretold his own death by drowning, and in 1892 also published a story about a ship called the Majestic, which sinks after hitting an iceberg. Deja vu lurks in the shadows throughout this piece. We're deprived for much of the performance of all visual orientation – reliant on instructions relayed via headphones and the soothing hands of unseen guides – and it starts to seem as if past, future and present mingle together in one tangled memory. At one point I reached out blindly to an unseen mirror as if seeking a lost self; at another I swore that I was standing on the deck of a ship swaying with the swell of the ocean.

Everything here is enhanced by the live music played by Cassie Yukawa. If Symphony examined the possibility of seeing without sight, so this piece probes at the possibilities of music – as something felt and not just heard, endlessly echoing through time, space and our own imaginations.
